Cheesy Smashed Broccoli

Serves 4 | with Crispy Panko Topping

Smashed potatoes are great, but have you tried smashed broccoli? Now's your chance! This recipe comes together in half the time of its starchy counterpart and packs just as much flavour, thanks to the crispy panko topping and copious amounts of melted cheddar.

Ingredients: Broccoli • Lemon • Cheddar cheese (pasteurized milk, modified milk ingredients, cream, bacterial culture, salt, annatto, beta-carotene, calcium chloride, microbial enzyme, cellulose, natamycin) (milk) • Panko breadcrumbs (bleached wheat flour, yeast, sugar, salt) (wheat) • Garlic salt (salt, garlic powder, silicon dioxide).
